2012 CHINESE GP: NICO SCORE HIS MAIDEN WIN AFTER 111 RACES

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg took a perfectly-judged maiden victory at an enthralling Chinese Grand Prix that was dominated by tyre strategy.
Rosberg led Jenson Button across the line by 20.6s as the Mercedes driver bucked the trend by nursing his tyres to make a two-stop strategy work.

The victory marked Mercedes' first victory since the 1955 Italian Grand Prix.
